Are you a migraine sufferer? It may affect your heart too. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. New research shows that migraine sufferers have an increased risks of cardiovascular problems including heart attacks, stroke, blood clots and an irregular heart rate. A large study conducted by Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark and Stanford University here in the US looked at over a half million people, both migraine sufferers and non-migraine sufferers. For every 1,000 patients, 25 patients with migraine had a heart attack compared with 17 migraine free patients and 45 patients with migraine had a blood clot related stroke compared with 25 migraine free patients. The findings prove that a history of migraine headaches should now be considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and events.
